LOW COST SYSTEM FOR TESTING ANTIBIOTICS

摘要

A system for evaluating susceptibility of microorganisms to a test compound includes a first porous sheet, a second porous sheet, wherein each of the first and second sheets comprise at least one zone bounded by a fluid impermeable barrier and wherein at least one of the first and second sheets is treated with a metabolic activity reagent; and a porous filament treated with a test compound and having a length sufficient to span the at least one zone, wherein the first and second sheets and the filament are positioned in stacking arrangement to sandwich the filament between the first and second sheets.
